BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in San Antonio is a Hindu temple grounded in the Swaminarayan spiritual tradition, where devotion is closely linked with service. Shaped by the legacy of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, Shastriji Maharaj, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, and the guidance of Mahant Swami Maharaj, the mandir reflects an approach to religious life that joins worship, spiritual growth, and community-minded action. Within the broader BAPS fellowship, this tradition emphasizes service as a meaningful expression of faith, with volunteer-led efforts supporting health and wellness, education, environmental awareness, community empowerment, and disaster relief.
